A question for the very clever! (Imagine you fired a cannon, the cannon ball flew 100 meters before it went all the way through? and got a better answer

Response from Carl Heiz[+++++]
it is not at rest due to the fact that the moment it flies it has kinetic energy. so it takes action.not at rest. will that do?

Response from 0[++]
it doesn't rest because the moment it flies, it has kinetic energy. so it takes action. it doesn't rest. is that okay?

Response from 0[++++]
you can't divide by 0, so at some point 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 the nucleus will move a little bit.

Response from 0[++++]
Once the nucleus has flown, it can already rest and fly since it is not specified what it is doing at the moment

Response from 0[+++]
I think the rest state was defined in theorem theory as the conservation of coordinates at any given time I don't remember exactly. And your nucleus in a finite time interval will move 100 meters. So it is not at rest. P.S. 2 Andryukha: you can divide by zero-any number divided by zero will give infinity. There's more stuff like 0/0 uncertainty, but it doesn't matter.

Response from 0[+]
I can't understand just why the nucleus must rest while flying? It either flies or it doesn't. You have to put a framework. Either it's physics or pure speculation.

Response from 0[+++++]
It's called Zeno's apporia. There was an ancient Greek philosopher. This is how he showed the contradiction between the mind and sense perception. This thing is solved simply: You go backwards in the timeline when you reason about the halves of the half. Accordingly, when you get to the point where the core is still in the cannon, it miraculously coincides with the moment of the shot and is at rest.
